# Translation Ayah
1 I CALL TO witness the sun and his early morning splendour, وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا
2 And the moon as she follows in his wake, وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا
3 The day when it reveals his radiance, وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا
4 The night when it covers him over, وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا
5 The heavens and its architecture, وَالسَّمَاء وَمَا بَنَاهَا
6 The earth and its spreading out, وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا
7 The soul and how it was integrated وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
8 And given the faculty of knowing what is disruptive and what is intrinsic to it. فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
9 He who nourishes it will surely be successful, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
10 And he who confines it will surely come to grief. وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
11 The Thamud denied (the truth) in their perverseness كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَاهَا
12 When among them the great wretch arose, إِذِ انبَعَثَ أَشْقَاهَا
13 And the apostle of God had to tell them: "This is God's she-camel, let her drink." فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَاقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقْيَاهَا
14 But they called him a liar and hamstrung her. So God obliterated them for their crime, and (destroyed) all of them alike. فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنبِهِمْ فَسَوَّاهَا
15 He does not fear the consequence. وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَاهَا
